He was tutored by director En’aam Muhammad ‘Aly and director Nour al-Demerdaash who presented the child Mamdouh Abdul Aleem in the television series “Al-ganna wal-‘azraa i.e. The paradise and the virgin” with actor Kareema Mokhtaar. His real start was in “Asseela” also with Kareema Mokhtaar. This lead his way to a number of successful TV series like: “Seyaam Seyaam i.e. Seyaam’s fasting”, “Akhou al-banaat i.e. The girls’ brother”, “Zeinab”, “Al-Kaahera wal-naass i.e. Cairo and the people”,“ Al-hobb wa ashyaa okhra i.e. Love and other things”, “Khalty Safeyya wal-Deir i.e. Aunty Safeyya and the monastery”, “Hassaad al-‘omr i.e. Life’s harvest”, “Shaare’ al-Mawardy i.e. Al-Mawardy street” and “Abyad x Abyad i.e. All white”. On the silver screen his first role was in “Al-‘azraa wal-sha’r al-abyad i.e. The Virgin and the gray hair” that brought him an acting award. Mamdouh won the best new face award for his role in “Kahwat al-Mawardy i.e. Al-Mawardy café” and the first lead role award for “Al-khadema i.e The maid”. Abdul Aleem did not really attain stardom he deserves on the silver screen although he attained it in television. He is married to television show host Shafky al-Monayyery.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
